What is the freezer settings that is cold i olnly have 3 2 1 off

Found this

The temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder temperature is desired, turn the temperature control knob toward MAX and allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.

In my experience, the temperature adjustment knob is behind the grill on the side. They put it hidden there because you hardly ever need to touch it. The model number isn't quite right for a Kenmore. It should be 3+5 numbers 123.12345 like this one 253.12502

It is supposed to do that, and the thermostat is there for that very purpose. The compressor starts up and when it reaches its set temperature, it turns off. If you aren't opening the freezer very often, it may only start up 3 or 4 times a day to maintain the set temperature. Also chest freezers are very efficient because cold air is heavy, so the chest fills with frigid air and stays there.

Thank you for your inquiry, friend!

Normally it is recommended to set your Frigidaire upright freezer to zero degrees. It is your option to make it cooler if you choose too. I hope this information has been helpful. -Matt

No other way to make changes. Issue is more then likely the thermostat that needs to be changed. Basically it's thinking your freezer is warmer then it actually is

That is the dumbest answer I've ever heard from a technician.

The cold control on most boxes controls the freezer temperature. You want the freezer temp to be around zero degrees.

Somewhere (usually in the refrigerator section) there's another control that actually sets a damper, letting some cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator. Higher numbers equal lower temperature. Find that second control knob and turn it up by 1 or 2 numbers, let an hour or so pass and check your refrigerator temp. You want about 40 degrees in the fridge.

I keep min two notches from the coldest setting.A great way to check where you should set yous,is ice cream.Put an open container of ice cream in the freezer,and turn the freezer to coldest.The next day try to scoop the ice cream.If the ice cream is hard the freezer is too cold.Adjust the freezer two notches ,and try the ice cream the next day.Repeat till you are happy with the hardness of the ice cream.It should be easy to scoop but not too soft.

1.check the coils on the back or under side.
2.check if compressor is running
3.check if copressor is hot
4.let me know the answers

hi. thanks for the question.you said you could not set the thermostat any warmer. so no matter what you do. it is not changing a thing. -5 the block of ice on the back, is a sign of too cold & running to long. was it frosted up inside the freezer i would replace the cold control thanks the appliance doc

1)forget about the key you'll be disposing of this unit anyway
2)the alarm is to tell you that the unit is above ideal temp.
3)the unit isn't making temp due to refrigeration issue. if it isn't cold enough on 3 then 1 won't do it either.

no! tap cold control to see if it starts. if the compressor is running and still not cold you either have a system leak or a bad comp.
